I am a new member here. I am looking to locate where the 68 SS 396 I just bought originated from. The original manual is in the glovebox, but I can't quite make out the dealer stamp.

It says: G.C. Francis Chevrolet
771 Lyons Ave.

The faded part is the City, State.

Does anyone have any clue where this dealership may have been located. I've tried numerous google searches and have come up empty. Maybe this will ring a bell to someone, or if there is an old list of Chevy dealers around. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

 

I would suggest google, you have already done that so I dunno. May I ask why though?

 

Try this. Of course you will potentialy have to try it 50 times.

I don't think that this dealer is around anymore. Numerous google searches have turned up nothing. I am very interested in searching the history of this car simply for my own curiosity. As one would be interested in searching their family tree. (Obviously not the same, but as close of an analogy as I could come up with).

Thanks again
